RHF Motto: "Now if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of
God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in
order that we may also share in His glory." Romans 8:17
RHF Pledge: "As a RHF cadet, I will do my best to follow Christ
and know His Word, to be Christ-like in all things, to be a messenger
of Christ to those around me, and to maintain myself in the mind of
Christ, the body of Christ, and the Spirit of Christ." Boys must
be able to recite both the Motto and pledge to earn their first patch,
which is the squadron patch.
RHF Values: this is the core of the educational and mentoring curriculum
for the entire 6 yr RHF journey: Faith, Loyalty, Honesty, Self-Discipline,
Friendship, Commitment, Respect, Responsibility, Team Work, Courage,
Compassion, and Knowledge.
Squadron Rules: no violence; abusive language of any kind; respect of
others and their property; must remain with squadron supervisors at
all times.
Some merit badges they will be earning: community service, first aid,
bible memorization, recruiting, team work, leadership, attendance, campcraft,
camp fire safety, knots, forestry, citizenship, fishing, good conduct,
conducting flight lesson and others.
Cadets already have been given their first assignment: they must contact
an elder of NorthView Church of Christ and interview them about their
decision to become a Christian and what it's like to be an elder in
the church.
Comment from one parent after only 2 meetings: "I was worried about
[him] doing memory verses because I knew how he was. So I decided on
Saturday night lets try one line and see how it goes. In less than an
hour he had the whole thing (Romans 8:17) memorized." That cadet
was the first to recite his memory verse in front of the whole flight
and did so flawlessly.
There is no application or joining cost for RHF program but cadets are
expected to purchase their own uniform. This can be accomplished at
the local Army-Navy surplus store, as well as other sources. Special
activities and supplies may require fees to defer materials and usage
costs. Some scholarship moneys may be available for financial hardships-see
Michael Hendershot, RHF Squadron Commander.
